It is not the time for celebration but to take a vow to take ahead and implement the ideals and dreams of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, said Jajpur MLA and BJD organisational secretary Pranab Prakash (Bobby) Das in reaction to the good wishes which poured in on his 51th birthday on Monday.
Das said, “It is our duty to devote more time to work for the 4 crore Odias as appealed by the Chief Minister and we should also be by their side in times of celebration as well as distress.”
The MLA's birthday was celebrated in the district by planting saplings and donating blood by the party workers and youths. Das urged the workers to collect as many units of blood possible so that nobody suffers due to its shortage.
He also appealed to them to plant more and more trees and make the district clean and green and also protect the environment from degradation.
Writer Taraprasad Mishra congratulated Das.
Among others, BJD general secretary Janmejaya Lenka, Biswaranjan Mallick, youth organganiser Bhabapradas Das gave their birthday wish to Das.
